Yanmar 6LPA-STP2, 6LPA-STZP2 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Yanmar 6LPA-STP2 cranks over but will not start after replacing the fuel filter assembly p. 78
Loosen the air bleed screw two to three turns as shown on page 36. Pump the priming plunger until a solid stream of fuel with no bubbles appears. Tighten the bleed screw and verify the fuel filter is torqued to 14.7 - 19.6 N·m (130.1 - 173.5 in.-lb).
Manual Section: Starting Failures: Starter turns but engine does not startHigh temperature alarm sounds and indicator lights up on the instrument panel during heavy load operation p. 77
Check the coolant level in the reservoir and verify engine temperature is not exceeding 95°C (203°F) as noted on page 25. Inspect the seawater pump impeller for cracked or nicked blades. Replace the impeller if it has reached the 1000 hours or 4 years service interval.
Manual Section: Indicators light on the instrument panel and alarm sounds during operationEngine oil low pressure indicator illuminates on the dashboard shortly after startup or routine maintenance p. 77
Verify the engine oil level is correct and the total system holds 10.5 L (11.0 qt) of API CD or higher oil. Check page 64 to ensure the oil filter was tightened by hand until the seal touches, plus an additional 3/4 turn with a wrench.
Manual Section: Indicators light on the instrument panel and alarm sounds during operationBattery low charge indicator remains illuminated on the instrument panel while the engine is running p. 77
Inspect the alternator V-belt for wear or damage. Measure the belt tension and adjust it to achieve 8 - 10 mm (approximately 3/8 in.) of deflection as specified on page 72. Check the battery cable terminals for proper contact and clean off any corrosion.
